lisacoffeeIl Caffe’ (eel caf-eh)—Coffee
I don’t know if you guys like coffee, but I sure do. I like to grind my own beans for the best flavor, but that by no means qualifies me as a junkie. I have a friend in Vermont who we call the Coffee Queen. She not only knows everything about coffee, but she roasts her own beans in her house, makes the best lattes and even has won coffee art contests (you know where they make the fancy designs out of the coffee foam - the picture included in this post is one of her design from this morning’s latte). Man, I really miss her lattes and beans!
But the good news is, she has started selling them from her own blog!

So for all you coffee lovers out there, here is how you say you want a cup of coffee when you go to Italy:

“Vorrei un caffe, per favore”.

    Ah, but is it caffè macchiato, caffè corretto, caffè lungo, caffè americano…so much fun with all the different types! I love coffee too, in all its forms, especially a morning cappuccino. You may have guessed that from my blog’s name ;)

    Your friend’s site is awesome, btw; thanks for the link!

    Wow, she will be so happy you went to visit it! I know, you know you are in a coffee loving country when they have so many names for it! :) Now that’s love!
